    Is my slip yoke shot?

    It isn't a sketchy explanation. There were several of these bushings that were out of spec for their outer diameter and have done this and I am not the only one who has seen it. I had 3 in the last month and found them to be just a couple of thousandths small in diamater. The vendor was already...

    Economic times

    Somebody else on this forum found out about a discontinued part yesterday and I got a call. Get ready guys, it's only going to get worse. Change is here. Darrin

    stall not too big??

    There is a distinct difference in that you don't have a PI torque converter. If you could feel how slushy some of those are it would blow your mind. Not all of them, but some of them and it's totally hit and miss. You my friend chose wisely. None of the converters like you have ever have come...

    4R70W vs. 4R75W

    Maybe. It honestly just depends. There are definitely differences between the 2 and it isn't possible to directly swap them without a tune to compensate for one difference, but the 4R75W is definitely stronger. But, I have seen the 4R70W last for a VERY long time on lightly modified...

    Economic times

    I am actually working on that. ;) On one the choice I have to make is that there is a GOOD aftermarket part that only costs about $20 more than the factory part. The aftermarket part is SFI certified and really most of the usage I see is for people that might be interested in that anyway...

    Just wait until the parts discontinuation really steps up. Ford has already discontinued a couple of parts that I use pretty regularly. Darrin

    Passed a car on my bicycle once

    I hate to contribute, but I got a ticket on my bike (not motor) once because I passed a cop. It was downhill and he was in my way. LOL Darrin

    Now what!

    There are a couple of other possibilities and they relate to the filter. Many times I have seen people not remove the orange rubber ring that is supposed to come out on the filter, but doesn't always, and put a new filter in on top of it. That can allow the transmission to suck air. Or, I...

    Now what!

    In all honesty, at this point, I would start by looking for leaks. It sure sounds like low fluid symptoms and with the smell that might be accurate. Let me know how it goes and PM me back. Darrin

    C'mon... Whining to the Mods?

    I do not envy the mods today at all. Darrin

    **trade converters**

    These guys are right. These engines need more stall and not less. Particularly when running stock. I agree that something isn't right. Remember that the stock converter that came out of your car could stall up to almost 2800rpm. Why spend the money to have an almost stock stall aftermarket...

    Blown transmission

    Yes, I know exactly where you can get a quality rebuilt transmission that will hold up. I do this for a living and am (still) a site supporting vendor. Darrin

    Latest XCal2 Update. *Read*

    To make it perfectly clear to everyone. The exact reason that those of you with older devices who have lost the ability to use them and the reason that SCT is changing things in their software to add further security is directly due to Zack. Laugh loud my friend. You caused all of this and...

    Latest XCal2 Update. *Read*

    No Dennis, it is right on track. The exact same maroon that got the old software functionality, and some device functionality, taken away made a post complaining about the direct results of his own actions and trying to paint SCT in a bad light for doing it. It's just the stupidest thing I...

    Latest XCal2 Update. *Read*

    See, I am a straight shooter and an honest businessman. I do not have the software that you have and I don't need it. I do things honestly. To that point, I don't need to go out warning the people that I sold anything to that they shouldn't update anything. If I have a customer that has an...

    Latest XCal2 Update. *Read*

    Ironically these changes were ALL brought about by certain individual(s) who pirated the SCT software and were selling copies of it illegally. These things are being done to try and cut down that market. Doubt me, just call SCT and ask. So yes, thank you Zack. Thank YOU very much! Darrin

    Shift kits???

    Actually several of the things that Jerry said to do were implemented in the newer transmissions. The same path was taken without going far enough to get drivability complaints. I have seen TransGo kits installed properly and working the way the customer wants. My issues with them are that the...

    Shift kits???

    Have the tuner set it up properly and always try and make sure the OD cancel in in play when you are running it hard at high speed. Darrin
